Refrigerator is not cold, but freezer is. Fan seems like it is not working. What do I do?

Hi Gerardine.
The evaporator fan motor circulates the cold air from the coils thru the compartment. If there is only one evaporator it is in the freezer side. If the fan is not working, no cold air will get to the refrigerator compartment. The freezer may still get cold.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling Refrigerator

There is a fan that delivers cold air from freezer to the fridge section. if freezer is working fine, and fridge part is not cooling replace the fan motor/fan

I had the exact same problem with my Frigidare. The fan motor went out and cold air could not be forced into the refrigerator compartment. The fan is located in the back of the freezer compartment. Not too tough of a fix.

Refrigerators with attached freezers typically keep the two compartments at predetermined temperatures, but failure of some components can lead the refrigerator to seem warm while the freezer portion completely freezes.

Fan Issues
According to the appliance website Appliance Aid, many freezers contain a fan that blows cold air throughout the freezer and into the attached refrigerator. If this fan fails, the site explains that the freezer may become too cold; the refrigerator will not receive air circulation from the freezer, though, and will remain warmer than normal.

Air Damper
Appliance Aid also notes that most refrigerator and freezer combinations contain a damper that regulates the flow of air between the two compartments. If the damper sticks or fails to function properly, it may restrict the flow of air from the freezer to the refrigerator. The result of a failed damper would be a completely frozen freezer and a warmer than normal refrigerator.

Hope this would help.

Good day!

This uses an 8 hour timer which means it goes into defrost every 8 hours shutting down the compressor and fan motor.

Normally what causes the refrigerator not to be cold enough is that the fan that pulls the air from the freezer is not working. Check to make sure it is working, if not then you will have to replace it.
No the freezer and refrigerator settings DO NOT have to be the same

Put your unit on a 24 hr defrost the freezer coil is frozen and blocked with ice the fan cannot draw any chill from the freezer section.

the fan is locted in the freezer and it blows up to the ref and it sounds like the fan quit working and needs replace to check it the be for sure take the back panel off and with the ref running test the leads to the motor and make sure you have 110 volts if you do it is a bad motor

Is the fan in the freezer working?? Is there Ice on the rear panel in the freezer?
